Bill Maher Eviscerates Greek Life Amid ‘Cornell 7’ Rape Case

Bill Maher Eviscerates Greek Life Amid ‘Cornell 7’ Rape CaseMichelle Stein Sat, October 10, 2026 at 5:31 PM UTC

Bill Maher eviscerated Cornell University and Greek life amid the rape allegations at his alma mater.

In the Friday, October 9 episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, the late-night host, 70, addressed the alleged gang rape of a female college student by members of the Chi Phi fraternity.

“Now that everyone is talking about Cornell, stop asking me about it just because I went there,” Maher said during his “New Rule” segment. “First of all, I graduated almost 10 years ago. How would I know?”

He continued, “What I do know is this alleged gang rape at the Cornell Chi Phi frat house is deeply disturbing. But since it’s my alma mater, where I walked those hallowed halls for four years with so many memories, I don’t want to let my personal feelings get in the way.”

That’s when Maher revealed, “Because they’re all bad,” declaring: “Cornell sucks, and I f***ing hated it, and I’m glad to see them eating a s*** sandwich.”

However, he acknowledged that Cornell “did give me a very good education,” and that a similar attack “could have happened anywhere there are fraternities because it happens everywhere there are fraternities.”

“Any place that’s all-male, no girls allowed just doesn’t function without depravity,” Maher declared. “Ask the Catholic Church. Ask the Taliban. Human nature is bad. And the best we can do is create institutions that don’t make it so easy to be worse.”

Because of this, Maher called for colleges and universities to get rid of “Greek life,” which “despite the togas, is not a precious legacy handed down from ancient Greece.”

He then pointed out, “There’s no law that says we have to keep something alive just because it’s 200 years old. I mean, besides Chuck Grassley.”

Maher explained, “Everything that’s inherently bad about men gets worse if you put them in a fraternity. The drinking gets worse, the cruelty, the treatment of women, the tribalism, the peer pressure, oneupmanship, conformity, segregation, nepotism, bullying, elitism, and just general a**holery.”

After taking aim at fraternity mission statements and their use of “gentlemen,” Maher detailed that the Jane Doe Cornell case involved a young woman who “went to a frat house drunk and did ketamine. And for that, she claims to have paid a price no woman should have to pay.”

He then proclaimed, “I do know what a gentleman is. A gentleman, gentleman, is someone who, in that situation, doesn’t exploit the woman. He saves her. That’s a gentleman.”

Dead newborn may have been run over by impregnated teen mom in incest case: cops

Investigators say the 14-year-old girl was impregnated by her father, who was later located with her in Mexico and now faces sexual assault charges

A 14-year-old girl in California may have driven over her newborn baby after giving birth in a strawberry field where she worked, police said Thursday.

The new details regarding the death of the infant, referred to by authorities as “Baby Angelita” — which means “Baby Angel” in Spanish — were disclosed by the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI during a joint press briefing. Detectives believe the teenager hid her pregnancy from her mother and was impregnated by her father, Sergio Galvez Perez.

The baby’s body was discovered on August 1 in an unincorporated section of Monterey County. Investigators suspect the girl delivered the child at her workplace before driving the vehicle.

Evidence gathered at the scene indicates the newborn was struck by the right front tire of a sedan, according to Detective Richard Geng of the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office.

“Several feet from Baby Angelita was what appeared to be a large blood stain, which led detectives to believe that Baby Angelita was moved from where she was born to a location under a vehicle that ended up running her over,” Geng said.

License plate reader technology tracked a sedan connected to the teenager’s parents arriving at and departing from the field on the day of the birth. Investigators said Galvez Perez was in the Bay Area at the time and that there is currently no evidence linking him directly to the infant’s death.

Following the discovery of the body, police executed a search at the Salinas home shared by Galvez Perez and the teenager’s mother. Officers located the girl hiding beneath a pile of clothes.

Although she initially told detectives that a minor was the father, investigators later identified Galvez Perez as the parent.

The teenager was taken to a medical facility for post-childbirth treatment. However, officials stated Galvez Perez removed her from the hospital on August 4, after which both fled to Mexico.

The handling of the investigation drew criticism from the local community and Monterey County Supervisor Wendy Root Askew, particularly after Sheriff Tina Nieto stated there was probable cause to arrest the 14-year-old for murder and initially determined the situation did not meet the criteria for an Amber Alert.

An Amber Alert was eventually issued on September 6, and Monterey County authorities confirmed Sunday that Mexican law enforcement had found the teenager and arrested her father.

Prosecutors have charged Galvez Perez “for the heinous crime of sexually assaulting his own child,” as reported byABC7 Los Angeles. Monterey County officials are seeking his extradition from Mexico.

Authorities declined to state whether the 14-year-old would face extradition or criminal charges.

A missing persons case that went unsolved for decades has finally been closed, authorities announced on Wednesday, Oct. 7

Investigators identified her remains through forensic genetic genealogy and DNA from her son

A missing persons case that went unsolved for nearly three decades has finally come to a conclusion, after human remains found on a boat in 1999 were identified.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, located in the Florida Keys, announced on Wednesday, Oct. 7, that its major crimes detectives, the county’s Medical Examiner’s Office and Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigators identified remains belonging to 56-year-old Cumie Doylene McCutcheon.

McCutcheon’s remains were first found more than 20 years ago on September 29, 1999 on a cabin cruiser boat floating off Sigsby Bay, just north of Rat Key outside Key West. Law enforcement officials only identified her as a white female between 35 and 45 years old known only as “Cinnamon” at the time.

DNASolves, which maintains a DNA database to be used by law enforcement, wrote in a press release that authorities were alerted to the scene that day by an anonymous caller, who said he was the woman’s boyfriend.

He told law enforcement that she was suicidal, and by the time investigators found the remains, she was already in an advanced state of decomposition, making her unrecognizable.

Although law enforcement officials took fingerprints and entered her information into NamUs (the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System), attempts in 1999 to identify her were unsuccessful, and the case went cold.

A break in the case finally arrived in 2026, when the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) approached Othram, the Texas-based company that operates DNASolves, with DNA from the cold case.

Researchers used the company’s “forensic-grade” genome sequencing to develop a profile for the remains and eventually found some new leads after genealogists used the profile in a genetic search. Investigators later compared the DNA to that of McCutcheon’s son, according to the sheriff’s office, and were finally able to officially identify her.

DNASolves wrote in its press release that McCutcheon’s death is believed to have resulted from a possible overdose involving amphetamines and alcohol, and suicide was being considered as a possible manner of death.

Othram shared in its press release that the identification marks the 71st publicly announced case in Florida in which investigators used its technology to identify remains.

“I want to thank the men and women of the Sheriff’s Office and the FDLE for their hard work on this case and providing closure to this family,” Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay said of the case.
